[Advisors] enviro scan -- please fill in the gaps

[Marita Moll]

Here is a preliminary environmental scan of provincial public access 
organizations/member-owned Internet service providers and 
municipal/community- owned broadband/ wi-fi sites that I know about.  It 
will help us in any potential activity to be able to point to an active 
community.

*Individual public access sites*:

In many provinces, existing public access sites were part of community 
resource centres, libraries, immigrant centres,? recreational centres, 
youth drop in centres, day care centres, seniors centres etc. prior to 
adding CAP to their service delivery options and since the dissolution 
of CAP continue to do so.
